What does BEANO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
An enjoyable party or celebration, especially one involving a good meal; a feast.
Beano began as slang shortened from bean feast, an old British term for a festive meal or outing that employers sometimes gave their workers once a year. Over time the word broadened from a specific kind of workplace treat to almost any lively, enjoyable get-together with food and drink. It has an old-fashioned, cheerful ring to it now, and turns up more in British informal speech and older writing than in current everyday conversation. A separate American sense of beano refers to a form of bingo, though that use is far less common today than the party sense.
